Jordan Peak (elevation 9,115 feet) offers spectacular snow slopes with intermediate and advanced terrain.  These north-facing bowls hold their powder long after the last storm.  The corn snow of spring skiing is equally outstanding.

Ski equipment rentals - skis, boots, gaiters and poles - are available at the Ponderosa Lodge. Cold weather gear - gloves, hats, watch caps, mittens, etc. - and fun stuff like plastic sleds and dics are on sale at both Pierpoint and the Ponderosa.
